After much anticipation, the construction date for the proposed casino at the Nittany Mall has finally been revealed. The company behind the project, Nittany Gaming, announced yesterday that work is set to begin in the fall of this year.
The casino, which has been in the planning stages for over two years, is expected to bring a much-needed economic boost to the State College area. The facility will feature a full-service casino with slot machines, table games, and a sportsbook, as well as a hotel, restaurants, and entertainment venues.
“We are thrilled to finally announce a start date for the construction of the Nittany Mall casino,” said John Smith, CEO of Nittany Gaming. “We have been working tirelessly to bring this project to fruition and we are excited to see it come to life.”
The company estimates that the construction of the casino will take approximately 18 months, with an opening date projected for the spring of 2023. This timeline is contingent on obtaining all necessary permits and approvals from local and state regulatory agencies.
In addition to providing a new entertainment option for residents and visitors, the casino is expected to create over 500 jobs in the area. Nittany Gaming has also pledged to invest in local schools and community organizations as part of their commitment to being a good corporate citizen.
“We are committed to being a responsible member of the State College community and we look forward to contributing to the local economy,” said Smith. “We believe that the Nittany Mall casino will be a destination for entertainment and excitement for years to come.”
Local officials are also excited about the potential impact of the casino on the region. State College Mayor, Jane Doe, expressed her support for the project, stating that she believes it will bring much-needed revenue and jobs to the area.
“We are thrilled to have the Nittany Mall casino coming to our town,” said Mayor Doe. “We believe it will be a great addition to our community and we look forward to seeing the positive impact it will have on our local economy.”
With construction set to begin in just a few months, excitement is building for the arrival of the Nittany Mall casino. Residents and visitors alike are eagerly anticipating the grand opening in the spring of 2023, when they will be able to experience all the amenities and entertainment options the casino has to offer.
